A Ruby framework for building Slack bots on top of slack-ruby-client, handling message parsing, command routing, hooks, and built-in help commands. It implements legacy real-time support for Slack classic apps, which Slack has deprecated.
Use cases
- build a Slack bot in Ruby
- create custom Slack bot commands
- parse Slack messages and route them to handlers
- add hooks and threaded message support to a Slack bot
- bootstrap a Slack bot with minimal boilerplate
When to choose
- maintaining an existing classic Slack app bot written in Ruby
- you need a lightweight Ruby DSL for Slack bot commands on the legacy real-time API
When to avoid
- building a new Slack bot - Slack delisted classic apps; use slack-ruby-bot-server-events instead
- you need granular permissions or the modern Slack Events API
